Comment
This coin introduced four security features:
- A latent image which changes from a padlock to Britannia’s famous trident
- Surface animation bringing the background of sparkling waves to life
- Micro text gives both decoration and protection – ‘an ornament and a safeguard’
- Britannia’s shield bearing the Union Flag accented with tincture lines
The coin was issued for the first time in a 'blister' pack
